Chapter Seventy-Six: Still to Go (I)
Chapter Seventy-Five: Still Going (Part I)
"Do you know what you're doing?" Although Murong Zhi didn't plan to express her opinion, she still couldn't hold back her mouth when she looked at him stupidly.
"I know." Qing Ruifan's face was gloomy, and he didn't look good, "If she continues to say it, it will be an insult to you." "Words of grief.
"Is it me?" Murong Zhi didn't believe it, and the mockery on the corner of her mouth was obvious, "It's Li Yu." He has taught you for so many years, how can you be willing to have someone pour dirty water on him? Murong Zhi really thought that this person was thinking about her for a moment, but after thinking about it, she just wanted to laugh.
If he really didn't want others to insult her, he would have taken measures as early as when Li Zhen just came in, and he must wait for so many people to give orders in front of everyone, and he doesn't know who is embarrassed?
"Ah Zhi......" Qing Ruifan couldn't refute for a while. Murong Zhi's eyes are vicious, and it is never a good thing to deceive her. But, "You're a little obsessed, do you have to hold on to this?" ”
For a moment, Murong Zhi thought that she had misheard. Before this moment, although Qing Ruifan did not say that he was obedient to himself, he never said the slightest heavy word.
Murong Zhi is actually the kind of person who is like a mirror, what others do to her, correspondingly, she will treat others. Qing Ruifan's current attitude can only make Murong Zhi unhappy.
"Yunshuang Lixia." Murong Zhi didn't stay anymore, flicked his sleeves, and called the two maids who liked him the most to go out.
Qing Ruifan sat alone in place, his eyes were slightly glazed, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even make a move.
Zhao Taifei.
"So you came over?" Concubine Zhao looked at Murong Zhi, who was calm and angry, and the corners of her mouth smiled faintly. It's good that she hates the emperor, otherwise she will only be hurt in the end.
But then again, if she wants to achieve her goal flawlessly, she has to rely on the emperor.
"Didn't you say you had something to do with me?" Murong Zhi didn't bother to make an appointment for tomorrow, so she came over by the way. She didn't know why she had come here, but now that she was here, she couldn't leave for the time being.
"Oh, that......" Concubine Zhao suddenly realized. Speaking of which, there is indeed such a thing.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that it won't be long before it's your mother's sacrifice day, and I thought I'd like to ask you if you want to worship her with me." Speaking of which, time flies really fast, and so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. Her children are already slim, and her incense mound should be green grass.
"It's been so fast." Murong Zhi was still a little emotional. At this time last year, she was still planning a sacrificial ceremony in Liulizhuang, and now, she wants to burn a paper money for her and hide it.
"Let's go together then." Murong Zhi finally spoke the words slowly. She believed that Concubine Zhao would not always be brainless to the point of being discovered. She just needs to show if she's willing to do it.
"Uh-huh." Concubine Zhao is refreshing.
"Zhi'er, I think you know that it's okay to mess with the emperor, but in everything, you must focus on the overall situation." After thinking about it for a while, Concubine Zhao still planned to mention one or two.
"This man, the easier it is to get it, the less he will cherish it." Concubine Zhao's eyes drifted away, as if she thought of something that had been precipitated in the years, "Although the emperor likes you and is willing to indulge you, it won't last long after all, do you understand?" ”
Murong Zhi suddenly had a bitter feeling of not being able to smile. Everyone believed that Qing Ruifan was a first-class good to her, but he had just reprimanded her. In the end, who is good and who is bad, you just know whether you are warm or cold.
The concubine laughed. I didn't love anyone, but I didn't want to fall in love with anyone. This can be assured. Murong Zhi took the teacup and took a sip, but the coldness in her words was obvious.
"It's good that you understand." Concubine Zhao didn't say anything anymore, her eyes closed, and finally compromised.
Murong Zhi suddenly lost interest in staying, and said Wanfu and left with the two girls. Concubine Zhao looked at her shadow, and then looked at a lucky bag that had been hanging on the head of the bed, and her heart was filled with bitterness, but she was helpless.
A few days later.
"Why did it suddenly become so serious?" Qing Ruifan stood on the dragon platform, looking at the ministers below who lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, and faintly looked annoyed.
Obviously, a few days ago, it was just a legitimate defense, but now it has evolved into three cities in a row. Is it bad or uninformed?
"Back to the Holy One. The Tatars are accustomed to night attacks, and the officers and men of our army have recently been affected by the cold weather, and it is not good to fight at night, so they are defeated and retreated. Chang Dong replied stiffly.
He had a good double stay with his own Liu Yu, loving and loving, and he hadn't been seriously involved in the affairs of the court for a long time. He was also woken up by this news last night, and he really had no choice but to come to the court today. Liu Yu looked useless at him, but he didn't even have time to coax her.
"Really? After so many years, my Han Qin still hasn't trained such a talent? Everyone in your military department is waiting to die with dry food, huh? Qing Ruifan didn't look angry at all, his golden boots stepped on the soft vermilion carpet, pacing back and forth made the tassels next to his ears flutter in a beautiful arc, but his tail note was light, not at all like he was fine.
"The emperor is angry." The Lord of the War Department was excited, and immediately knelt down, and the gauze hat on his head trembled slightly, and he was not lightly frightened.
Qing Ruifan in the court has never been angry, he is used to squinting his eyes, raising his tone, and acting like a gentle and gentle, virtuous monarch. But let's be honest, who doesn't know that their own king has always liked to stumble behind his back?
"Holy grace. In recent days, the household department and the official department have been busy with their own affairs, and the surplus of the state treasury is not objective. At present, the military department can only guarantee daily rations. Our country is a big country, and it is understandable that the army's time for transporting grain is different, Your Majesty. "The Lord of the Ministry of War estimated that he was a little anxious, and he tried to take himself out of the defense, but unfortunately, this household department and the Ministry of Officials are not fuel-efficient.
"The emperor is aware that since the beginning of winter, the rain and snow in the south have been advanced, so that many refugees have poured into the north, and the ministers have to consider the living conditions of the residents." Hubu Shangshu turned a white beard, looking at Qing Ruifan who was standing tall, and his heart was bottomless.
"Now that the New Year is approaching, the officials and expatriate envoys in the DPRK will return to the court to rest, and the statisticians of the Ministry of Officials have been busy recently, and they really don't have time to fight the idea of the treasury, Your Majesty." The official Shangshu held the ivory pilgrimage and bent down to bow deeply.
However, the words of the official department Shangshu were very clever to sift himself out, leaving these two Shangshu who "hit the treasury idea" to pinch each other, and this basin was deducted neatly.
"Alright." Qing Ruifan's eyes rolled and rolled, and his gaze suddenly moved to the prime minister with a dark expression standing under the stage, this person had not said anything from the beginning, and now he suddenly wanted to hear what he said. "So what does the Prime Minister think about this?"
The named Prime Minister Chu's face stiffened, and then he knelt down calmly, his voice was old but still very peaceful: "Back to the Holy Lord, the minister thinks that this matter is certainly a problem with court affairs, but in fact, if the guards outside can be a little careful, they will not be able to break through the three cities in a row." ”
As Qing Ruifan expected, in the end, the prime minister would still blame Chu Zhaonan for this incident. is obviously his current son, and he still wants him to die. Prime Minister, why do you dislike Chu Zhaonan so much?
"Taifu, what do you think?" The function of the emperor at some point is to listen to the opinions of the ministers, and the decisions made after that are left for later.
The old minister thought, "Li Yu was born in a family, his own cultivation is extremely high, and his every move is natural and elegant." Qing Ruifan gave him the greatest tolerance, he could not salute when he was in the court, just stand and reply, "This matter should still listen to what the guards say, after all, we are in the opposition to them, and some situations cannot be speculated." Li Yu is impartial, does not pay attention to dog-eat-dog, does not care about ridicule and sarcasm, and is upright and upright.
"Okay, I already know about this matter, let's retreat from the court today, and discuss it tomorrow." Qing Ruifan finally waved his hand and directly called the blue cloth to retreat. The voice of the blue cloth is not as harmonious as those waiters after all. Qing Ruifan didn't say anything, and went to Yongyuan Hall with some anger.
"Holy Lord, is this matter to be asked by General Chu?" The blue coat is also in a good way, knowing when to say something. Some decisions are better made by Qing Ruifan himself.
"No, just ask someone to send him a letter and ask him to reply." Qing Ruifan was extremely irritable during this time. Whether it was Murong Zhi's sudden tantrum before, or his suspicion and hurt of himself, it made him feel uncomfortable. Coupled with the lack of news from Chu Zhaonan's side, his whole person fell into suspicion. However, he has the most basic self-confidence.
Many times people are so contradictory, on the one hand, they are self-denying, and on the other hand, they are self-affirming, and no one knows which aspect is right.
"Okay, has there been any movement in Fenglan Palace recently?" Qing Ruifan was still obviously rejected by Murong Zhi as before, and he himself knew later that it was he who had done something wrong before. The guilt and all kinds of chores in his heart made him have no time to go over to see how she was, and slowly put it aside with the increasingly heavy apologies in his heart.
"No, Niangniang has been very quiet lately. Except for Dr. Huyue who went to ask for a pulse every day, no one entered and left Fenglan Palace, only the palace maids came and went. Although Lan Yi felt pity, he couldn't help it. One can only watch the two of them fall into this endless loop.
One does not bow their heads, the other does not let go, and all the strength they think they think is turned into a tenacious force that prevents love.
"Is there anything wrong with her?" Qing Ruifan sat on the side of the desk, looking at the fragrant tea in front of him, and felt that he had entered another paradise, where there was no suspicion, no collision, everything was natural, and it was always peaceful.
"Niangniang seems to have been practicing martial arts more diligently recently, and she can be seen training in the courtyard every morning, and Yunshuang has been accompanying her." Lan Yi was a little puzzled, but he didn't say it explicitly. To be honest, Murong Zhi's kung fu really shouldn't be slack, according to his logic, she has so many enemies, how can she give up exercising?
"Well, let's go down." Qing Ruifan suddenly wanted to be quiet, not to appear in front of him, he had to think about what happened next.
